A Note on This Beer
What’s up, Dark Beer fans?
We have your warm-weather fix right here. It even stacks up against your dark winter favorites that are harder to find this time of year!
- Bodacious Brewery: Mikkeller was dubbed one of Food & Wine’s Most Important Breweries in Europe!
- Bold Booze: 10.1% ABV
- Fierce Flavor: With high-grade vanilla and coffee added, Awful Gato makes the taste buds dance. According to UT fan @David H., it’s well “balanced, but you can definitely taste & feel the ‘oomph’ of this one.”
What makes it ideal for summertime sipping is its down-able Brown Ale body. We swear, you could easily crush two bottles yourself on a Sunday afternoon. We don’t recommend it — but at the same time, we can’t say we haven’t tested it out ourselves. You know, quality control is very important!
However, if you get as carried away with this dark indulgence as we did, just plan on not having anything serious on your to-do list for the rest of the day, beyond a serious nap.

I don’t know if the vanilla has faded by the time I got to this but it’s there lightly. The coffee is nice and thick and warming.

Loved this beer, it was mind blowing to learn they created this lucious, dark, coffee creamy beer with only grains water and hops. Just, so good.

Dark brown/black, good balance with strong coffee bitterness to offset the vanilla sweetness in the finish. Not sure it is a brown as much as a stout.
